DESA Training Pack: Introduction - Being a District Explorer Scout Administrator (FS452021) (1 of 8)

The District Explorer Scout Administrator (often abbreviated to DESA) has an important role to play in Explorer Scouting in the District.

He or she is the hub of communication, maintaining a free flow of information across the District to ensure that every Explorer Scout has access to the full District Explorer Scout programme.

It can be a challenging and even demanding role, but a deeply rewarding one as you see your efforts transformed into better and better Explorer Scouting for more and more young people.
